This book aims at capitalizing and transmitting know-how about the design of Augmented Environments (AE) from some of the most prominent laboratories in the field worldwide. The authors belong to the RUFAE network (Research on User- Friendly Augmented Environments, founded in 2002) who meet in research seminars to share experience; Writing this book was perceived as an opportunity to look back over the last few years to sum up important findings; and formalize their approach and experience, which they never had the time or opportunity to do.

Installation Theory: The Societal Construction and Regulation of Behaviour is a manual of behavioural science for researchers and practitioners who deal with action and cognition in a real-world context.

Informed by a wide range of empirical evidence and data, Installation Theory: The Societal...
